== Etymology == The name Doʻstobod () is of Iranian origin and consists of two elements: дўст and -обод/-абад. Дўст () is a word meaning "friend," "close person," or "comrade," while -обод () is a common toponymic affix in Iranian-speaking regions, meaning "inhabited place," "populated area," or "flourishing settlement." Thus, the toponym Doʻstobod can be interpreted as "settlement of friends" or "city of friendship." Many places in Central Asia also feature names with the suffix -абад, such as Ashgabat, Islamabad, or Türkmenabat.
